Original Toronto Star caption: Wearing hip waders, a dozen policemen paced off the shallows of Mimico Creek today, behind the apartment building on Willowbridge Dr., Etobicoke, where Simon Wilson, 9, was last seen. So far, there has been no clue to the boy's disappearance last Wednesday. Scuba divers also took part in the search and two tracking dogs were used. A province-wide police alert and description has been issued on the chance the boy may have hitch-hiked out of Metro.
